When educating patients with hypertension about medication absorption, what is a key point to emphasize?

  1. Drugs can be taken safely beyond the expiration date

  2. Proper storage is not a concern

  3. Distrust of taking medication with certain foods

  4. Myth-busting the dairy interactions

The correct answer is: Drugs can be taken safely beyond the expiration date

Drug safety is a critical point to emphasize when educating patients with hypertension about medication absorption. Taking medications beyond the expiration date can lead to decreased effectiveness or possibly harm due to chemical breakdown, loss of potency, or contamination. Patients need to understand the importance of not using medications past their expiration date to ensure optimal therapeutic benefits and safety. The other options are not relevant to the key point of medication absorption and safety.
